to throw all the cat poo back into neighbours gardens?

[misdee]

three houses either side of me all have cats.

there is a tiny flower bed type thing near my front door. its full of cat poo.

should i share it equally between the three houses?

YABU.

How unfair!

You must catch the cats, weigh them and work out a fair proportion of poo for each cat.

Then by all means deliver the carefully weighed poo-parcels to your neighbours.

Invest in a huge waterpistol and fire away - it doesn't harm them and it will scare them off. I have 3 cats but my neighbours 2 are crapping on our lawn FFS!! At least mine do it in the soil so I got some lion poo and put that down to deter them.

I hope you are joking OP.

Leave it on their front door steps. Preferably on the door mat, so it seeps in!

Get a terrier and let him/her rule your garden.

fling it over in the dead of night

Same problem here, i used to grow strwberries in our flower patch (outside the front window) but the cats keep pooing in it and i don't fancy eating strawberries fed on cat poo. Since getting a dog (i sometimes tie her up out the front) the cats have almost gone (apart from one brave moggy).

I sympathise Misdee.

Unbeknown to me, this morning DS2 trod on some poo on our gravel drive and then got in the car. Driving along to school when DS1 (he of the very sensitive nose) says "Mummy, something smells funny". When I parked I realised what the funny smell was and that it was now trodden all over the seats as well!!

I am getting one of those cat scarer things tomorrow.

Reminds me of my elderly neighbour, who gets his grandchildren to pick up the pears and throw them back which fall from a pear tree in my garden!!

I'd be wary of a water pistol, if you get water in their ears it can cause permanent hearing loss. try the lion poo or get some thorny plants.

def yes

i have the same prob

most of my neighbours have cats, i dont as allergic, and i love my hammies,

they ALL seem to use our garden and we TONS of poo and dh gets very cross and shouts rude words!!

I would do that if the cats that were pooing in my garden didn't have diorreah all the damn time, my nieghbour has 7 of the bloomin thing that all use my garden as thier personal lav.

Throw awa Misdee!

sorry as in

yes do it no YANBU

Why do you hope she's joking, ScifiNerd? The OP isn't suggesting throwing the cats themselves over the fence... ( there's an idea!)

I have complete empathy and YANBU.

ooh I'd be with you. Dd gets picked up by the disabled taxi every morning and there is a local cat that sneaks round and craps on the path every morning just before her wheelchair is rolled out. Pushing yourself along in a wheelchair where the wheels are full of cat crap is such a treat.

Ds doesn't like playing in the garden because it is always full of cat do; visited regularly by at least 5 local cats. The moment you've cleared up, they're at it again.

So, how do you suggest the owners stop their cats from doing it?

Plant a load of cat mint there. They won't want to poo there because they love the catmint too much.

Plant some lavender in your flower bed, they don't go near it.

I am with you, Misdee.

Imagine my glee this morning when we set off on school run to find not one, but two huge cat poos on our front step. I then had to pick them up and dispose of them whilst retching.

We used to have a cat and never got any poo in our garden, she had a litter tray (or did it in other gardens ), since she died 2.5 yrs ago we are drowning in the stuff.

Maybe you should redesign the flower bed to be a trendy thing with gravel and spiky plants? (pity we can't grow cactii outdoors!)

Little cat nappies, SoupDragon?

Surely the gravel will just seem like cat litter to the pesky cats? There is a house near us who has done that and you can't see the gravel for the poo (mind you we live in the frozen north so plants don't grow v fast here!).

My cats poo in my neighbors garden - but their cat has sprayed in my house - we are even stevens

scatter crystals

this stuff really works

Foxes poo everywhere too. it's far worse than cats.
